Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- ⅓ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 cup rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
- Flaked sea salt (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter.
- Heat in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can burn easily.
- Alternatively, melt the chocolate and peanut butter together using a double boiler over simmering water.
Step 2: Mix in the Rice Krispies
- Once the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and well combined, add the rice cereal to the mixture.
- Gently fold the cereal into the chocolate mixture, ensuring all the rice cereal is coated evenly.
Step 3: Spread the Mixture
- Line a baking sheet or a square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Pour the chocolate-cereal mixture onto the lined sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula to your desired thickness.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches
- While the mixture is still soft, sprinkle flaked sea salt on top. This step is optional but highly recommended, as the salt adds a perfect contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate.
Step 5: Let It Set
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer and let the bark chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is completely firm.
Step 6: Break Into Pieces
- Once the chocolate bark has set, remove it from the refrigerator and peel off the parchment paper.
- Use your hands or a knife to break the bark into bite-sized pieces.
Tips for Success
- Chocolate Variations: Use a mix of milk and dark chocolate for a richer flavor, or substitute white chocolate for a sweeter option.
- Add-Ins: Feel free to mix in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
- Storage: Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
This Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Bark is as easy as it is delicious. It’s the perfect recipe for when you need a quick dessert that’s guaranteed to impress. Enjoy every crunchy, chocolatey bite!
